The result

The first 5 years of our relationship got the attention of Bill and Dave. The next 5 earned HP a 100:1 annual ROI on marketing funds for S.A.L.E.S. After 20 years we've taught solution sales to more certified HP channel reps than anyone outside of HP, as their sales grew from $13B to $115B.

D&H Distributing

D&H Distributing

Gary Brothers
S.A.L.E.S. became a strategic tool for contributing to our growth. The ROI was nearly immediate. I like the fact that sales training was approached as a process rather than an event. 150 of our people went through workshops, 1-on-1 call coaching, and account planning sessions over many months — and now reinforced and elevated as we expand.
Gary BrothersPresident Emeritus, D&H Distributing — CRN Top 25 Winner

The result

Over our 7-year history with this employee-owned company, D&H grew from $750MM to over $2B in IT and consumer-electronics sales.

Arrow

Client 05

Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions

Richard makes every class engaging and fun. Never before have I attended a class mixed with engineers, sales and marketing that was more productive. Richard has cracked the engagement and retention code: Simple to understand and learn. Always focused on results. Lots of ROI. Excellent engagement every time. Solution-oriented with focus on value creation.

Client 08

Hackley Architectural Signage

S.A.L.E.S. is at the core of my company. Richard Chambers and his team have helped me over a 20-year span as HAS has grown from infancy through adolescence. We're now poised for major growth in revenue and company value. America's Return processes can be found in the way we hire, train, sell and plan for the future. Richard is more than a consultant; he is a part of our team.

Travel Insurance Services

Client 09

Travel Insurance Services

As founder and president of Travel Insurance Services, I engaged America's Return for strategic focus and for help with the key processes enabling growth: recruiting and sales. With Richard Chambers' guidance, I learned to lead my company of 24 employees to an average 17 percent annual growth for 12 years, at which time I sold the company and retired. I have no doubt that my present lifestyle would be unaffordable without the help of Richard's unique S.A.L.E.S. plan and personal expertise.
Ralph DavisFounder, Travel Insurance Services

The result

TIS, a pioneer in the trip-cancellation insurance industry, is now a subsidiary of one of the largest insurance brokerage firms in North America.
